About the Ruger Blackhawk
The Blackhawk is Ruger's single-action revolver built around a transfer-bar safety that lets the shooter carry all six chambers loaded, something original Colts required a half-cock notch to prevent. The action cycles smoothly from either the hammer spur or the trigger, and adjustable rear sights on most models make the Blackhawk a credible hunting and silhouette gun rather than only a historical replica. Chamberings span .357 Magnum through .45 Colt, the loading gate accepts one cartridge at a time, and the broad grip frame manages recoil during extended range sessions.
